Turkey wants to buy F-35

There's no news.Turkey is in the JSF program since the very beginning. Why would they be part in it if they wouldn't want to buy JSF's?

Q: Mr. Secretary, what does this memorandum commit Turkey to in terms of the amount of investment, over what period of time, and does it commit Turkey to purchasing any particular number of planes?

Aldridge: It doesn't commit Turkey to purchase any aircraft. It does commit Turkey to participate in the SDD system development and demonstration phase as a ten-year commitment and it's for $175 million equivalent dollars.

Q: How does it work in terms of early opportunities to acquire the aircraft?

Aldridge: When you become a partner you get into a priority for the acquisition of the airplane. Whenever they want it. They give us the requirement and we can in fact establish the production rate for the future and when they fit into the production lines.

I think it was news because Turkey committed itself to an acquisition program, mentioned the number they would like to buy, the costs they expect, etc. Were these things already known? (I for one didnt know them).

take care

There's no firm commitment (yet) regarding the numbers. If you speak about commitment to the program,yes they are indeed (like the other participants - more or less) committed to it.
